Free Font Friday: Pirata One
by Taylor Slattery | August 21, 2020
Like most gothic typefaces, Pirata One is very geometric in its construction, which opens it up to an array of graphical and decorative uses. Make it big and abstract, or small and rhythmic. Pirata One has a strong medieval feel, though its lack of ornamentation makes it a bit more flexible in use.
Used as a header, it would make a great pairing with a more utilitarian font like a geometric sans serif, which would allow Pirata One’s subtle character to shine. As the name suggests, it does have a bit of a pirate vibe to it, so if you’re designing a treasure map, you’ll want this in your collection.
Pirata One is available in a single weight and you can find it for free here.
